MyPillow CEO Is Ripping The Republican Party Apart

Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow, is apparently ripping the Republican Party apart with his insistence that the 2020 election was stolen. In Idaho, where Lindell has already been proven wrong about his claims, Republican lawmakers are attacking one another for their support of Lindell after he embarrassed them with his claims, and this is just one of many areas where Lindell is forcing Republicans to acknowledge their own delusions. Farron Cousins explains what's happening and how Lindell is making it worse for everyone.

You know, perhaps I give Donald Trump too much credit for ripping apart the Republican party, because after all, it's not just Donald Trump, there's plenty of folks out there who are helping to destroy the Republican party. And according to new reports, nobody is doing a better job of it than the MyPillow CEO, Mike Linde himself. And believe it or not, all of this is kind of playing itself out in the great state of Idaho right now. Now for our regular viewers, you understand probably, or maybe you have, you know, vague memories of us talking about Mike Lindell's involvement in Idaho. But in case you don't remember where you've never heard it. Let me refresh your many, many months ago. In fact, it was last summer. We talked about the fact that Mike Linde went to Idaho, had all this evidence and said, look, there's so much voter fraud in your state.

You gotta do this. You gotta investigate it. That was a pretty crappy Mike Lindell impression, but I'll let it slide because it was for me. So Idaho Republicans said, sure thing, buddy, we're gonna go based on your reports and we're gonna investigate all this. Thank you so much for bringing this to us. So of course the Idaho Republicans go out there, spend thousands and thousands of dollars auditing, recounting, looking at the voting machines. What have you doing everything to make? It was all on the level. And at the end of the day, they came back and said, dude, Mike, you lied. We found all of your claims to be without merit.

So they got and they said, Hey, guess what, buddy? We spent thousands of dollars to do this. Cuz you told us if we did it, we'd find fraud. We could, you know, prove that Trump won our state by an even bigger margin, which he already won by 30%, by the way like Idaho, wasn't gonna flip from Biden to Trump. Trump won it by 30% of the vote. Like what a stupid place to go and do this. So the Idaho officials, Republicans, all of them said, Mike, give our money back. Like we had to pay this money to do it based on what you said. We want you to pay us back. Well, fast forward to now, right? We're like nine months removed from this. And apparently Mike Linde is currently ripping apart. The G O P in the state of Idaho. Here's how it's happening.

His supporters, the Linde supporters still in Ohio, uh, Idaho, excuse me, actually think that the Republicans who conducted this little audit or whatever you want to call it, they believe now that they're in on the conspiracy, cuz they didn't find what Mike Linde swears was there. So you got a good number of Republicans over here that think so you're in on the conspiracy. You are just as bad as the Democrats. And then you have the normal Republicans who are actually sending messages to the state. G O P saying, thank you for proving Mike Linde, wrong for allowing us to move forward and showing that we don't have to believe in crazy conspiracy theories. And this of course is leading to primary challengers for some of the Republicans who are happy about it by people who are not happy about it. So the Republican party of course is tearing itself a part worried. Now that hell we might even lose in our deep red state because we can't get along because Mike Linde is tearing us apart.

Now, the reason I bring this up is because this isn't just Idaho. This is what Linde is doing all over the country. By not only sowing doubt in our election process, which of course keeps Republicans away from the polls. We've seen it in Georgia, but by keeping this myth alive, he is not allowing the Republican party to move forward. Everywhere that has looked at his claims has proven that he is not being honest, that he is lying and that his evidence is total BS. The court cases that looked at his so-called evidence have said, this is nothing. Please get out of our courtrooms. He has nothing because there is nothing, but he continues to say it. Which of course in turn drives Republicans apart. Most Republicans wanna move on from the 2020 election. They don't wanna talk about it anymore. But unfortunately, most Republicans also believe the 2020 election was stolen.
